• Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the broiler
supplied with the oven. If the dripping-pan is used, this will
extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a crispy
crust;
• Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cook-
ing;
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), it is recom-
mended that the mozzarella cheese be placed on top half-
way through the cooking process.
Cooking Fish and Meat
Meat must weigh at least 1 Kg in order to prevent it from drying
out. When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use low tempera-
ture settings (150°C-175°C). For red meat that should be well
done on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside, it is a
good idea to start with a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C)
for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards. In general,
the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the
meat on the centre of the rack and place the dripping pan be-
neath it to catch the fat. Make sure that the rack is inserted so
that it is in the centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the
amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights. For sa-
voury roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat
with lard or bacon on the top.
